The 3-1 Cincinnati Bearcats have a Friday night matchup with one of the heavyweights of the AAC.
UCF (4-1) has been the class of the conference for the past few seasons. Despite a gut-wrenching loss two weeks ago against Pitt, the Knights boast the most skilled roster in the AAC and still retain a 17-game conference winning streak.
True freshman Dillon Gabriel has emerged as the starter from a crowded quarterback room. The slick southpaw passer has put up some impressive performances, including his three-touchdown outing last week against Connecticut.
Gabriel has a host of weapons at his disposal on the UCF offense: pocket rocket tailback Greg McCrae (who gained nearly 1,200 rushing yards last season), Dave Meggettesque scatback Adrian Killins, long-and-lean Gabriel Davis (arguably the AAC’s most explose receiver), and reliable pass-catcher Marlon Williams.
